The thylakoids contain the light-harvesting complex, including pigments such as chlorophyll, as well as the electron transport chains used in photosynthesis (Figure 2). Plant cell walls are ...

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts found within cells. It is the chloroplasts that contain the green pigment chlorophyll which absorbs light. The plant uses this glucose to grow as well as make ...

In a major leap toward sustainable energy, a team of Japanese researchers has developed an artificial photosynthesis system ...

Plant leaves need a large surface area to capture sunlight for photosynthesis ... A kind of built-in GPS informs each cell ...

Winter is a difficult time for all living beings, but plants have it especially hard. Plants get their energy to live and ...

The team isolated the chloroplasts from algal cells using a centrifuge and gentle stirring. Instead of then piercing the host cells’ membranes, as in earlier work, the researchers adjusted the culture ...

But plants don't have this luxury. Because plant cells are immobile, each individual cell is forced to manage its own immunity in addition to its many other responsibilities, like turning sunlight ...

"Almost all algae and plant species photosynthesize under ... we have been able to detect the initial reaction of ...

Key regulators of stomata are plant vacuoles ... which controls gas exchange necessary for photosynthesis and limits water loss. How do guard cells change their volume to control this opening ...
